Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a sensory mononeuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). MP has rarely been reported after a femoral intervention approach. We report a case of bilateral meralgia paresthetica following bilateral femoral cannulation. A 64-year-old male received cardiac catheterization and treatment via a bilateral femoral vein. After cardiac catheterization, the pati...

The etymology of anatomical terminology provides insight into the history anatomy, medicine, and scientific understanding. Therefore, this study assessed language 7th century Codex Amiatinus, earliest surviving most reliable copy Saint Jerome’s original 4th Latin Vulgate translation Bible, for details regarding injury Jacob as described in Book Genesis 32:22-32. Amiatinus notes that sustained a...

BACKGROUND The aim was to clarify the normal fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the sciatic and femoral nerves at the level of the hip joint and to visualize the neural tracts with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). METHODS Twenty-four healthy volunteers (12 men and 12 women, age 20-29 years) underwent DTI for visualization with tractography and quantif...

A 2-year-old female intact huacaya alpaca weighing 66.6 kg presented for the removal of a bone sequestrum from distal femur. Nerve stimulator-guided femoral and sciatic nerve blocks were applied to provide analgesia surgery. The simple perform using existing equipment current techniques translated small animals. reported here both in an can be used as alternative ultrasound-guided approach, esp...

CONTEXT Patients receiving femoral nerve blocks for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have been shown to have a high incidence of postoperative falls, which has been attributed to weakening of the quadriceps muscles. Local injection of analgesic medication that allows for full motor function of the quadriceps and, therefore, better progress through inpatient physical therapy and decreased hospital ...

We report a rare case of a 33-year-old female patient who sustained bilateral closed femoral shaft fractures as a result of motor vehicle collision. The left femoral shaft fracture was associated with primary complete sciatic nerve palsy. The patient underwent intramedullary nail fixation of both femoral shaft fractures. Throughout the postoperative course, no functional recovery was observed. ...

introduction: pain is the most common complaint of patients referring to emergency department (ed). considering the importance of pain management in ed, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy and feasibility of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in this setting. methods: 46 patients who came to the ed with injured extremities were enrolled in the study and received either femoral, axillary or...

Gassel (1963) devised a method for direct measurement of femoral nerve conduction and found this useful in differentiating neuritis of the femoral nerve from other causes of proximal neurogenic and muscular diseases. He discussed the relevant anatomy of the terminal motor fibres in the skeletal muscles, with particular reference to the quadriceps femoris muscle. He also described the theoretica...

Femoral nerve neuropathy after total hip arthroplasty is rare but catastrophic complication. Pain and quadriceps muscle weakness caused by this complication can significantly affect the functional outcome. Here we present a case report, describing delayed onset femoral nerve palsy associated with iliopsoas hematoma following pseudoaneurysm of a branch of profunda femoris artery after 3 months o...

Though uncommon, femoral nerve palsies are potentially devastating injuries which can occur as a result of penetrating trauma or malignancies, however the most common cause is inadvertent iatrogenic injury following intra abdominal surgery such as gynaecological/vascular surgery or total hip replacement [1]. We present a case of iatrogenic femoral nerve injury with a delayed presentation result...
